If you find that there is such a snail near your home,
Don't mess with food!
Recently, Mr. Li, who lives in the Asian Games City community of Panyu Shilou in Guangzhou, found several Dongfeng snails climbing on the windows on the second floor of his home. When he went downstairs, he found dozens of Dongfeng snails climbing up along the outer wall, leaving traces on the wall.

The reporter's on-site visit found that the situation reflected by Mr. Li was by no means an isolated case. On the outer walls of many buildings in the community, the reporter found a large number of Dongfeng snails. These Dongfeng snails climb up the outer wall, and the walls are left with black marks in a string.
On the sidewalk of the community, the reporter also found a large number of Dongfeng snails, which would be stepped on if they were not careful. Some dongfeng snails have been trampled, emitting an unpleasant smell and provoking a large number of flies.
The reporter came to the scene again for interviews, saw that the outer wall of the building is still climbing a lot of large Dongfeng snails, the ground is scattered with snail shell fragments, in addition, many green trees in the community have also been "occupied" by such Dongfeng snails, in the shade of the trees, or a single or pile of Dongfeng snails tightly "attached" to the trunk, motionless, if not carefully observed, it is easy to be mistaken for a tree scar.
A green worker in the community told reporters that 10 days ago, after the rain, this snail appeared in a large area, and it was difficult to clean up, we cleaned up dozens of pounds, the whole tree was full, "mainly after the rain, it appeared densely, and now the sky is sunny a lot less." ”
According to local residents, Dongfeng Snail appeared in large numbers outside the community two years earlier, and they did not care. However, in recent years, more and more Dongfeng snails have crossed the walls of the community and "invaded" the community in a big way, which has worried them.
Residents of the community are worried that the Dongfeng snail will have an impact on the environment of the community, and at the same time, it is not known whether the Dongfeng snail will spread diseases and affect the health of residents. They hoped that the relevant departments would pay attention to this, take preventive measures in a timely manner, and popularize relevant knowledge to the vast number of residents, eliminate the concerns of residents, and give the majority of residents a good living environment.
Mucus also carries bacteria, which can easily cause allergies!
It is understood that the Dongfeng snail, also known as the African giant snail, is one of the first 16 invasive alien species in China, listed in the "List of Invasive Alien Species in China", which is extremely harmful to vegetables and other crops, and is a class II quarantine pest for the entry and exit of the Chinese state.
Dongfeng snails mainly live in damp and dark places, and generally crawl out of the grass and woods after rain. Almost all the stems and leaves of green plants are its food, which is harmful to crops, flowers and trees. Dongfeng snail has a lot of mucus on the body, which carries bacteria, and if the resistance to bacteria is weak, it is easy to cause allergic reactions, so don't touch it when you see it, especially for children.
Don't eat or keep it as a pet!
At the same time, Dongfeng snail will spread a parasitic disease called "Guangzhou tube strongyloidiasis" and cause symptoms such as eosinophilia meningoencephalitis in the human body, and the public should not eat or keep them as pets.
